It has been very windy all day. At 7 pm at night, it is 60 degrees up here, humidity is 22%. And this from a reader: “It is currently 71 with 20% humidity at my house near Pfeiffer Beach and a wind out of the East. . . .  This is prime fire weather and so very dangerous.” 

I concur. No rain in the forecast for the next 10 days, either. It is only going to get worse. Personally, I think the USFS needs to rethink its campfire policy for the LPNF, and will be suggesting the same to Bradford.
